there isn't one objective measurement that would point to Dean having earned the right to carry on.

Well I’m sure he will be arguing that the future objective will be to get us promoted and he’s done it before, recently, and not with any team. With this one.

I really can’t see the owners wearing this seasons failure but if he leads us into next year, I’d be fairly confident we’d be challengers from the off.


If we go down I don't think we can be confident of challenging for promotion "from the off". At this point we have no idea who the manager might be next season and we have no idea who will be playing for us next season. I wouldn't predict anything until the close of the transfer window when we know what our squad is going into the season. Also on that subject what/when is the transfer window this time around?


Just checked and the transfer window opens on 26th July but there is no close date as yet.

The quick start of next season will mean should be drop we are going to likely start the season with players we need to shift out and untill we do we can't bring any in.

Say we fail to win any of the next 4 games this idea that a team that hasn't won in 9 months with the same manager and a confidence drained squad is going to start winning is fanciable.That first season down last time was shambles for that very reason , on paper that team we started with that season should have been walking the league ( as people are saying about the current team) but it rarely works like that.

Agree D Nab! The worst thing would be a period of shall we shan’t we.
We need strong decisive leadership for a change.

I wouldn’t hold out too much hope for Dyche.  The porn dwarves want him apparently.

The pornos are vile fuckwits but given a straight choice Dyche would be barmy to turn therm down in favour of the on-going clusterfuck what is Aston Villa. We love the club, clusterfuck or not, but why should he!

If dean had any inkling he was going to be sacked, could that also have contributed to our post lockdown horror show? Or are we going to stick with him and become a championship fixture?

Whatever the outcome of the next 2 weeks Smith won't be here in 3 weeks time.

Quite why Dyche would want to come here is beyond me.

It's been clear since the Southampton game at VP that things aren't right & with few exceptions we haven't shown the fight necessary to survive.

Once again 2 left footed CB’s starting with a right footed CB at RB with two fit actual RB’s on the bench. And Trez starts. I give up

I don't mind Treseguet starting. He was unlucky not to score the other night although that's the only thing he did.

You don't mind that a player had one shot and contributed absolutely nothing else for 90 minutes?

I'm struggling to think what El Ghazi has done since the re-start as well.
